One thing you'll notice about amateur photographers is that they tend to pack up and leave right after sunset. The next time you're out taking sunset shots look around and notice that many experienced amateurs and professionals will continue shooting well past sunset. It's this time about 30 minutes past sundown when the wind becomes still and the sky turns an incredible dark blue or purple color.
This first shot was taken just a few minutes after sunset when the colors were at their brightest.
After Sunset

Shot taken with a Canon EOS 50D set on aperture priority (Av) using an EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM tripod mounted. The exposure was taken at 24m, f/9.5 for 1/90th of a second at ISO 100 on Lexar Professional digital film. Post capture processing was done in Lightroom 2.

The second shot was taken several minutes later when the wind had stopped and the sky had turned a beautiful shade of blue. The deep, saturated colors make waiting around after dark well worth the effort.
